    I copied it from my dictionary. I think your computer may not support this font style. About the colon after 'u', I think it it the sound'long u'

    By the way, "canoe" is pronounced "kan u", it is a Native American (Indian) word.

    I like this picture. I wonder where the people are who have the boat? The boat looks like what we would call a "canoe," but I don't know if it really is one. Maybe the people are off to the upper left, fishing, and they have a cooking fire ready nearby to prepare the fish they catch!

      thanks for replying, Mrs. Stout. I took this picture from my Chinese friend's blog. He lives in the countryside in China, so I think it is a kind of traditional boat made of wood.

      I think you know that ancient Chinese poets often pictured an isolated boat in the river to express their inner isolation (you wrote in your profile that you learn a lot about other countries, right? That is awesome). My friend is a fan of ancient poets, so I think he was inspired by those distinguished scholars when taking this picture.

      By the way, I often pronounce "Canoe" [kə'nu:], so what is the correct one?

      Your spelling of the word sound [kə'nu] is probably closer than mine, thanks! By the way, where did you find the phoenetic symbol ə ? I copied and pasted yours to put here, but didn't find it anywhere myself. Also, after the 'u you entered a colon :--does that have some phoenetic meaning?
